CDCServlet component may result in policy advice being presented to the
wrong client. This could allow a remote unprivileged user to gain unauthorized
access to data belonging to other users.


2. Contributing Factors

This issue can occur in the following releases:

SPARC Platform
  • Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 (for Solaris 8, 9 and 10) without patch 126356-03
  • Sun Java System Access Manager 7 2005Q4 (for Solaris 8, 9 and 10) without patch 120954-10

Note: Sun Java System Access Manager 6.3 and earlier are not impacted by this issue.
This vulnerability is applicable only when Cross Domain Single Sign On (CDSSO) is used.


To determine if Sun Java System Access Manager is installed, the following 
command can be run on a Solaris system:

    % pkginfo -l SUNWamsvc || echo "Sun Java Access Manager not installed"
          PKGINST:  SUNWamsvc
             NAME:  Sun Java System Access Manager Services
         CATEGORY:  application
             ARCH:  all
          VERSION:  7.1,REV=06.12.19.15.12

To determine the version of Sun Java System Access Manager on other systems, 
the following command can be run:


    # <access-manager-install-dir>/bin/amadmin --version
    Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1


where <access-manager-install-dir> is the installation directory 
of the Sun Java System Access Manager.

To determine if CDSSO is enabled, check the value of the 
"com.sun.am.policy.agents.config.cdsso.enable" property in the Agent configuration 
file "AMAgent.properties". If this property is set to true then CDSSO is enabled.
